Chapter 139: 139 Yueqing agrees to take over the Yan Family

Taking over the Yan Family?

Yan Yueqing felt a numbness on her scalp.

No way... She wanted to slack off! Suddenly, so many things were coming her way... Was she about to embark on the path of hard work again?

The system couldn’t stand to see her slack off.

[Mission issued.

Mission requirement: Take full control of the Yan Family within one year.

Mission reward: Enhancement points +1000, one free system upgrade.

Failure punishment: All Cute Baby favorability reset to zero, return all consumed nurturing funds to the system.]

Just a second ago, Yueqing was marveling at how plentiful the mission rewards were, the next second she was dumbfounded.

Resetting favorability and returning all the consumed nurturing funds?!

Wasn’t the failure punishment a bit too severe?

The system said, "This is an important main mission, which has been automatically accepted on the Host’s behalf."

Yueqing’s face was full of question marks: "No way?! You little... don’t tell me, you really shouldn’t tell me..."

The system spoke earnestly, "Host, my appearance is precisely for the purpose of returning to the main mission."

Well then...

If Tong Bao says so, what more can she say?

"Okay, okay, I accept it, I promise to complete the mission."

The system gave a sly laugh.

Yueqing lifted her eyelashes and said to her grandfather, "You want me to take over the Yan Family... does my cousin have no objections?"

Mentioning Yan Kang, Old Master Yan’s expression grew slightly dimmer.

Steward Yan’s hand, which was pouring tea, paused ever so slightly.

Yan Wang, sensing something was off, took the initiative to speak, "I’ll take my younger brother and sister back to rest first."

Jun Yan originally wanted to squabble over the title of brother, but he could clearly see that Great-grandfather had secrets to tell Mommy Dearest.

So he didn’t open his mouth at this time.

If he knew that from this moment on, he would be automatically considered the younger brother...

He would probably turn into a little crybaby.

"Alright," Old Master Yan nodded, "Steward Yan, take the children to see their rooms."

"Yes."

Yan Wang stood up from his stool and extended his hand to Tang Tang, "It’s dark, brother will lead you."

Tang Tang smiled sweetly, reaching out her little paw, "Okay, brother is so nice to Tang Bao."

Jun Yan scoffed disdainfully: Tsk—

"Mommy Dearest, we’ll go first. The wind is strong at night; you should take care of your health," after saying that, feeling it was a bit too deliberate, he added towards Old Master Yan, "Great-grandfather too."

You see~~ only he remembered to remind Mommy Dearest!

How could Mommy Dearest not be moved to death?!

Yueqing smiled sweetly and nodded, "Thanks, Yan Bao."

Yan Wang, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around, his expression coldly fixed on Jun Yan.

The latter raised his head, smiling like a sunflower.

Yan Wang looked at Yueqing and suddenly said, "Mommy..."

Her expression was tinged with emotional pain.

Yan Yueqing responded in a second, "Baby, you also have to take good care of yourself and your brother and sister, ok~"

Yan Wang curled up the corners of her mouth, "Thank you, Mom."

Jun Yan: ???

No!!

Ahhh!!!

After the two kids vying for attention left with Tang Tang, Yueqing then helped Old Master Yan back to his room.

In the quiet space, only the grandfather and granddaughter remained.

"Yueqing..." Old Master Yan stayed silent for a while as he struggled to organize his thoughts. "You were young when your dad passed away and had no intention of taking over the Yan Family. I had no choice but to adopt a successor. Your cousin, Yan Kang... at first, I was very satisfied with him!

With such a large family business, I taught him many things, and he learned quickly... After I gave him some authority, Yan Kang couldn’t resist the temptation of huge sums of money. He indulged in a life of pleasure and vices, causing the family to lose a considerable amount of money..."

Yueqing was aware of this matter.

A billion.

Don’t think that a billion is not much to a wealthy family!

That was hard-earned money squandered by the prodigal son, tarnishing the family’s reputation; anyone would be angry!

"I gave Yan Kang chances, more than once!" Old Master Yan’s eyes clouded with turbidity, "But instead of improving, he only got worse! That incident with the entertainment industry, I know he was stirring up trouble... His aim was to isolate you from the Yan Family’s business circle when you were out of it.

And about Wangwang, nearly everyone with clear eyes knows that I intend to groom him as the new successor. But... Wangwang is still too young, and although he’s exceptionally smart, his body is somewhat frail. I haven’t let Wangwang return to the Yan Family in five years; don’t blame your grandfather... I’m genuinely afraid that he’d get harmed."

This was the first time Yueqing heard Old Master Yan bare his heart, and she was visibly moved.

"In a family like ours, apart from the one or two most trusted people, others are easily bought off. Wangwang coming home would introduce many uncertainties! However, in the hospital, the doctors are those who have signed life and death agreements with me! A private ward, fixed medical staff, and would-be attackers can’t find an opportunity..."

Old Master Yan, with his far-sighted planning, said, "I hold some leverage over Yan Kang. If you didn’t come back, I was planning to send Steward Yan to Wangwang’s side... Fortunately, you finally returned!"

The frail old man reached out and touched his granddaughter’s thin face, "That person before, who tormented your body into this state... You used to be so vibrant, and now you’re so thin; it breaks your grandfather’s heart to see."

This body was indeed a bit skinny.

With a height of 171cm, she weighed only 46KG...

It must be said, the entertainment industry’s standards for female stars’ figures are too strict.

Barely more than a stick, never mind whether it looks good or not, can the body handle it?

Yueqing pressed her lips together, "I will try to gain some weight."

Old Master Yan patted her hand, "You haven’t been tainted by those trends in the entertainment circle, and I am glad..." He then took a deep breath, "Yueqing, taking over the Yan Family immediately will certainly be filled with challenges... but your grandfather won’t be able to protect you much longer... Maybe one day I’ll close my eyes and never wake up again... Otherwise, I wouldn’t be pushing you to grow up so quickly."

"Grandfather, I will dutifully manage the Yan Family; please don’t talk like that..." Yueqing glanced at the old man’s frail condition, "It’s because grandfather had too much to bear before, which caused distress. In the future, I’ll take on most of the troublesome matters for grandfather, so you can comfortably stay home, play with the great-grandchildren, and enjoy the plants and birds. Also, the doctor from Yan Bao’s family is very skilled; please don’t avoid medical attention, let him come over and check on you, ok?"

Old Master Yan’s eyes reddened, "Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you."

Perhaps to steer away from the heavy topic, Old Master Yan switched to a mysteriously different subject, "Yueqing, that little girl you brought home, Wangwang seems to be very concerned about her! Have you considered setting up a prearranged marriage for the two of them?"

"Huh?" Yueqing, caught off guard by the old man’s leap in thinking, found it laughable, "Grandfather, the kids are only five; aren’t you thinking a bit too far ahead?"

"What’s wrong with being five?" Old Master Yan calculated, "Didn’t you and Xiao Ming also have your marriage arranged at five?"

"That’s different," Yueqing waved her hand dismissively, "Besides, Qiming and I never got to the point of getting married."

They ended up becoming best friends instead.

Old Master Yan sighed, "That child is quite good... why don’t you like him? At first—"p>

He was about to say that after she had the child, Lin Qiming had once come to him, suggesting proactively, "Grandfather, to protect Yueqing from harmful rumors, I would like to marry her right away..."

That was the first time Old Master Yan had encountered a live cuckold.

Although such thoughts were upsetting and wrong!

But that was exactly what he thought at the time!
